      It is good for pepople who feel bored but want to get motivation.
    • 3/5
      Like any edited volume, a mixed bag. Some very good, some overly simplistic or full of unexamined assumptions. OK as an audiobook, but I listened to it while hiking and would have gotten more out of it by taking notes.
    • 3/5
      There's some good nuggets in here, but mostly it's about what you might expect from reading the description. The book is composed of a set of "essays" and interviews across a range of people (most creative types, entrepreneurs, consultants, etc.). I've long since learned that these things can get repetitive and come off as collections of sound-bites and aphorisms, but the reality is that there's usually some truth buried in there. If you can extract it from this or if it simply motivates you to do things and try things you wouldn't otherwise have, then good for you. But I suspect most people will read this, feel a bit more charged up for a short period of time, and then drift back to their normal day-to-day. It's not a bad book, at all, but it's not going to teach you how to turn your life/career/etc. around, either.
